Jerusalem Inspiration

During the entire Hebrew month of Nissan there is a special mitzvah, commandment, to make a blessing upon seeing the blossoming of fruit trees. As it is the start of spring and the trees have been bare all winter, we are instructed to recite this blessing of praise expressing our awe and admiration for the renewal of life in nature. Celebrate the season of renewal by planting a tree in Israel.
